About Me

Hi I'm Jenna I attend Punxsy High School where I am in 9th grade. My favorite scho
ol activity is Band where I play the French Horn. When I am out of school I enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

Classification of Marine Biology

• The biomolecules found in each of the foods were Protien, Fat, Starch, and Simple sugar. Each food had at least one of the 4 biomolecules in them.
• The results to the catalase activity and or experiment. When i did the catalase activity i didn't see much change at all. I did however notice that the two liquids separated themselves. I assumed that this happened because the peroxide was less dense than the milk was.

*Through this activity i have learned that every thing has a different reaction to something. Everything in your body has something that makes something else work. Each enzyme has a different pair or partner. I also learned that milk isn't everything it is cracked up to be because there are a lot of things that really didn't seem to be that great for you.

a. The dichotomous keys are separated by opposites.
b. It is a tool that is used to determine and identify items in the world.
c.prokaryote, Phototrophic eukaryote, Facultative Phototroph, Fragilidium Sbglobosum
d. I am most related to the Fragilidium subglobosum
e. I am most different from the Trichodesmium erythraeum


Chromatography Lab

My conclusion is that every leaf had a different pigment or different chlorophyll. In every lab group there were different pigments even in the same type of leaf. Some of the experiments had flukes such as the pigments didn’t come out as clearly as others. For example some plant b and plant c had two total different pigment fronts.


Light intensity



Photosynthesis is the process of turning sun light into energy and food for the plant. The sunlight is absorbed by the chlorophyll and transformed. Depending on how intense the sun light energy is and how long the wavelength is determines how fast photosynthesis is going to go.I learned in the simulation that increasing the wavelength speeds up the reaction as well as boosts up the ATP percentage. If you move the light intensity and the wave length in different directions everything goes differently the ATP percent could rise or fall depending.

1. A. The more sugar in the solution the more carbon dioxide you get.
B. The ones with less sugar the less that they inflate.
2. The dependent variable was the yeast there was the same amount of yeast in each tube. The independent variable was the sugar solution. In each tube they were different amounts.
3. The kind of environment yeast prefers is a warm moist environment with lots of sugar. The more sugar the more the balloon inflates.
4. If there was more sugar in the solution the more the balloon inflated the less sugar the less the balloon inflated
5. The yeast carried out fermentation.

Class Traits

Class trait 1: Dimples
- Pd. 1
- Girls 9:13
- Boys 1:5
- This gene is dominant
- Pd.3
- Girls 5:11
- Boys 9:13
Class trait 2: Long second toe
- Pd. 1
- Girls 7:13
- Boys 2:5
- This gene is dominate
- Pd. 3
- Girls 7:11
- Boys 7:13

There are many different traits the human can possess, such as a long second toe or dimples. Every human is different and has a different body structure and genetic make up. If girl has dimples her best friend is likely to not have dimples in the same place as her friend if at all. It all depends on where the gene is placed on the chromosome. Dimples are a dominant gene that you get passed down from your parents. Some of the kids in my class have dimples but not all so it is really the luck of the draw. At least one girl and one boy from each class had dimples some ware on their faces. In pd.1 more girls had dimples than boys but in pd.3 more boys had dimples than girls. Showing that there really are a variety of different gene combinations.
The trait of having a long second toe is also passed down from your parents. This trait is very common and many people have this trait. This trait is considered a genetic defect but it makes up who you are. Almost more than half of the people in each class had a longer second toe. This isn’t something that can cause problems however it was once said that people with a long second toe had a higher risk of having a heart attack.
For example my dad has a long second toe but my little sister and mother don’t have a long second toe they are both short. This means that my father’s gene was a dominant when they had my mothers and me was recessive. Although when they had my sister my mother’s gene was stronger than my fathers making hers the dominant trait.
